Rolo Rocky Road

Rolo Rocky Road is an easy no-bake chocolate treat packed with marshmallows, graham crackers and loads of chocolate caramel Rolos.

Rocky Road is a classic chocolate treat that varies in flavours depending on where you live. For me it has always been soft marshmallows mixed in with crunchy nuts into a delicious chocolate base.

This easy rocky road recipe swaps the nuts for deliciously gooey chocolate caramel rolos. It’s just too good, You are going to love this version of rocky road!

Tips for Making the BEST Rocky Road

Stir your Chocolate – Between bursts in the microwave be sure to stir your chocolate. This will help prevent any burning and evenly distribute the heat.

Use the double boiler method – You can also melt your chocolate in a double boiler.

Bring to Room Temperature – Rocky Road can be hard to cut straight out of the fridge, try bringing the slab to room temperature and then slicing it up into squares.

Swap the Golden Syrup – If you don’t have golden syrup on hand try one of the following substitutions: corn syrup, honey, cane syrup, brown rice syrup, agave, or maple syrup.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Milk chocolate & dark chocolate
  Using both gives a balanced sweetness. You can use all milk chocolate for a sweeter result or all dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet version.
• Golden syrup
  Adds sweetness and helps bind everything together. You can substitute with corn syrup or honey, though honey will slightly change the flavour.
• Unsalted butter
  Provides richness and helps create that smooth, sliceable texture. Salted butter can be used, just skip adding any extra salt elsewhere.
• Mini marshmallows
  Add softness and chew. Regular marshmallows can be used, just chop them into smaller pieces.
• Graham cracker crumbs
  Bring a light crunch and structure. You can swap with crushed digestive biscuits or any plain, slightly sweet biscuit.
• Rolos
  The caramel centre is key to the flavour. You can substitute with other caramel-filled chocolates or chopped soft caramels with chocolate pieces.

How to Store Rocky Road

Rocky Road can be stored, in an airtight container, at room temperature for about a week. or it can be stored in the refrigerator for about two weeks.

You can even make it ahead and store in an airtight container for up to a month in the freezer.

You can thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or even just eat them frozen. Try them in the summer straight out of the freezer for an incredible cooling treat!
